that the gum chewing craze calls for.
He is the man who two years ago
marched across the American continent
and threw 100000 sticks of chewing
gum fearlessly into the teeth of the pub
lie. Billy says an Eastern gum manu-
factory offered him big sum of money
if he would distribute their gum along
his pathway. and he dld so, and from
that time gum chewing has been a
craze, especially in those localities
where he distributed it. Billy is one of
the greatest huStlerS on the face of the

straight years without a days lay off,
and he says he has never walked home

on the asphalt pavement. You can
walk horse on it and not hurt him, but
just speed him a little and it pounds
him all to pieces. Why, we can sit
here and hear the horses trot away over
on Summit avenue. 1t strains and jars
the tendonS, and makes horse sore and
stiff. It's worse than the ice in winter,
and you bet l keep off of it. When a
horse gets sore in his tendonS it is very
hard to get him over it. | know of
horse being laid up two weeks from the
effect of ordinary driving over that kind
of paving. Drive horse over it every
day, and it it can't help tanning him.
X. +. Warrington, Foreman for X. p.
Cullen-lt's very severe on our horses.
| notice that a horse feels uneasy when
he strikes that asphalt pavement, and
it undoubtedly lanes a horse, especially
if driven at all fast.
j. b. Morehead-I haven't noticed
anything wrong with my horses from
travelling on the asphalt pavement. OF
course our horses don't travel much on
it and SO we have no means of Judging.
James king-I don't know as the as
phalt paving hurts the horses any. 1t
may not be as good for fast driving as
the common soft wood bed, but for
ordinary driving | don't think it makes
ally 1Ou STE lHt1c Is So
little of it in the city that j can't see
that it makes any perceptible difference
with the horses. 1t is the finest, al
though a little expensive, paving for
residence streets, and | think it's the
neateSt and best. Washington is paved
al over with it and the livery men don't
have any trouble there.
T. ID. Abbey-If horse is driven fast
over the pavement can easily see how
it may hurt the horse. But if | under
stand it right Summit avenue was not
paved for a speed boulevard. If you
drive along at an ordinary gait it is bet
ter than any other pavement in the city.
For our business | say pave the entire
city with it, for it doesn't wear buggy
any more than running it over that floor
there. Certainly if you are going to
speed horses over the pavement why it
will do them general injury. | don't
think boulevard or a race-track should
be paved with asphalt.
David Burke-There is no doubt to
the ordinary thinking man that if a
horse is driven at an ordinary gait it
won't get hurt by the asphalt pavement,
but if you are going to speed your horse
over it to see just how fast he can go
why that's different thing and is liable
to jam him UP some.
W. E. Schultz don't see as it hurts
the horses any if the gait at which they
are driven is the same as On any other
street in the city.
